Layer 8. From kit choose 4 of the word art elements and resize to 25%. Place them over each of the 4 boxes on the temp layer. To help with positioning so that they are all vertically straight, line the left edge of each word art against the right edge of layer 7.

Merge all 4 layers and D/shadow. Go back to original temp layer and change the blend mode of the boxes to Screen.

Now C/paste, position and d/shadow your tube.

Continue by adding desired elements from kit to your tag. D/shadow as you go.

25 Leaves. Resized to 50%. Apply Sepia toning that we used on the close up layer. Position bottom right of image behind tube layer. Duplicate and mirror copy to left. Merge down. D/shadow. Duplicate again and change blend mode of top copy to hard light.

8 Paper butterfly. Resized to 20%. Rotate left 21. Top left of tag above frame.

Open raster deform tool...(Its the pick tool in the version of Paintshop I use) Use raster deform tool to position and reduce the height and width of mask until your happy with how it looks.

Delete background layer of template.

Merge all layers. Crop to your liking. I usually sharpen at this point rather than each separate element as I go along. Adjust - Sharpness - Unsharp Mask 5.0 - 30 -5.Add name and relevant artist copyright and tube licence info.Save as Png.Thank you for stopping by and trying this tutorial. I hope you are pleased with your tag. Sal xoxo

My Tutorial Basics

My tutorials are my own ideas and creation.Any similarity to any other tag or tutorial is co-incidental. Tagger groups and forums are more than welcome to use my tutorials and templates. Please link back to my blog.
I use Paintshop ProX but my tutorials should work fine with other versions.
If my design uses a free to use kit or other ftu materials please leave the designer a thank you when you snag.
When creating tags I use a drop shadow of 3-3 opacity 40 blur 7.
I always use unsharp mask to sharpen the merged image at the end rather than each individual element and the font I use for copyright is pixelette.
